Certified method for evaluation of biological efficacy of controlled atmospheres and fumigation in silos using biotest kits: methodology for workers in DDD, agriculture and food industry
Aulický, Radek ; Stejskal, Václav ; Plachý, Jan
Evaluation of the efficacy of controlled atmosphere or insecticide fumigation treatment of stored commodities is very difficult when these materials are located in silo bins. The main difficulty is to take measurements and samples within the entire commodity (vertical-silo) profile. Until now, there are no standard procedures and tools that would allow the evaluation of efficacy of controlled atmospheres under such situations. These methodical deficiencies are some of the main reasons why t controlled atmosphere methods are not commonly used in practice, although they are – under many conditions - relatively cost-effective disinfection measures. This methodology is the first Czech set of procedures for the proper preparation, application and evaluation of bioassays that can be used for evaluation of the efficacy of controlled atmospheres and fumigation in silo bins cells. The methodology also shows some practical examples and experimental results on how to use bioassay. The certified methodology was prepared with the financial support of the NAZV agency and is the technological an scientific output of the project QJ1310057.
